Summary
- Frasier Crane’s iconic Seattle apartment will be replaced with a more closed-off, classic Boston flat in the show’s reboot.
- The new apartment lacks the breathtaking views and spaciousness of the original, reflecting a shift in aesthetic and setting.
- While viewers will miss the beloved Seattle apartment, the hope is that Frasier’s Boston flat becomes just as iconic in the reboot.
Ahead of the Frasier reboot, a rare behind-the-scenes video takes fans on a tour of Frasier Crane’s iconic Seattle apartment. In a month, Kelsey Grammer is set to reprise his role as the snobbish therapist, Frasier Crane in the Paramount+ revival of his ’90s sitcom. The Paramount+ Frasier reboot will be set in Boston, which means that he will be getting a new flat in New England. Before that, however, a new video goes down on memory lane to revisit Frasier’s swanky condo in the Pacific Northwest.
Shared by Entertainment Tonight on YouTube is a Frasier set video from 1993 that features Grammer taking viewers on a tour of his new digs. Watch it below:
Aside from Frasier’s apartment, the video also shows other memorable locations from the ’90s cortically sitcom. That includes Frasier’s booth at KACL and Cafe Nervosa.
How Frasier’s Reboot Apartment Different From His Seattle Flat
The original Frasier picked up from the events of Cheers, with the two shows only having a six-month gap in between. In the reboot, however, two decades have passed, which means that the show has to catch up with viewers on what Frasier has been up to during those times. That likely includes Niles and Frasier losing Martin, which reflects John Mahoney’s death in 2018. Because none of the original Seattle-based characters will be series regulars, Grammer and his team opted to move Frasier back to Boston, where he will have a brand new flat, as revealed in the show’s teaser.
From the get-go, there are a lot of differences between Frasier’s Seattle and Boston’s apartments. While he lived in a high-rise condo, with unparalleled views of the Space Needle and floor-to-ceiling windows, his New England flat appears to be more closed-off. Aesthetically, it’s surprisingly more classic, perhaps to fit with the city’s old-world charm. Windows are rather small, and unlike in Seattle, there’s really no view that will remind fans of where the show is set. For context, however, Frasier’s apartment in Boston is chosen because of its proximity to Freddy’s.
There is no doubt that Frasier’s Seattle apartment will be missed in the new show. It was the backdrop of many of the show’s best moments, and it was witness to how Frasier and Martin’s relationship evolved over the years. As he moves forward with his life in the Frasier reboot, however, hopefully, his Boston flat also becomes as iconic as its predecessor.
